What is the fascination with 'spins'

[cornel panceac]

well, looks obbvious that simple it's divine. but, it may be fun to have
many different spins as long as you have enough enough developers for the
job, but when all you have is developers for desktop, then better minimize
the rate of change, imho. also, i suppose one year release distance it's a
more practical approach when you wanna change a lotta things .
so i agree with the idea that one dvd filled with only one package for every
job is better than multiple cdsets/dvds, with duplicates.
